Good morning!!!!

[fiddlearound]

Hey Buppies, thanks for the comment. We got started early, I was barely 20 and she was nearly 19.
I know what you are going through with the skin cancers, after 40 years in the golf business, I've had plenty of them myself.
Got another appointment in September when she will probably have to cut out a new one.
Good luck with yours.

85F and mostly cloudy (really ? ), HI 103F, DP 71. No signs yet of significant thunderstorm activity around, just a few small showers north, south, and west.

Finished mowing lower front, also got upper front done as well ...

Came in to cool off and grab some lunch ... nice cool sandwich with the tuna salad The Woman made yesterday.

After that I'll head back out and see if I can get the area down here around the house done.

Finally remembered to take the camera out.... here is a pic of the new steps and of the drip lines....

I know if there isn't any pictures, it didn't happen......

It's 1 pm and a few storms are forming to the NE and S.

Unfortunately, the storm track is from the SW to the NE.... neither one of these is going to come our way....

Ted, what a view. Living on the Wide Prairie

I have to go back to dermatologist to redo a bad spot on my ear, inside the lobe.
He froze it or burned it or something but didn't get it all out.
Not good margins as they say.
Hoping next event isn't surgery on my ear.
I do not feel like this guy is thorough enough for me.

I've had four dermatologists over the years
and 2 were dangerously bad. Both had drug problems I believe and both were gone from their practices soon
after I was there. Unfortunately they got to carve on me first, one a Mohs on my chin and the other a big chunk of my shoulder/back
taken out. Stress of job makes many medical specialties prone to drug and alcohol abuse.
It's only human nature... The guy who did my Mohs was nationally known and accredited and
when I went to my follow up appt, I remember his eyes were like pinwheels.

And when I asked him why the one inch scar he promised me became at least two inches and his response
was I was fat. Nice. Yeh, I have a little jowl and you sure saw it before you started chopping away...

Now I've always wanted to be slightly fat and very happy so I didn't mind being fat shamed.

The last doctor that actually said I was fat, I replied “Yep, and you’re ugly”. I had to find another doctor.

Drew----- "Ted, what a view. Living on the Wide Prairie".

Yes, the views are sometimes amazing. There are mountains to the north and west of us. The base of the northern mountain is about 3 miles away and goes almost straight up for about 2,000 ft. The mountains to the west are about 15 miles away, but go up almost 4,500 ft.

Being that the house / property is at 6800 ft, these mountains are high.... Sandia Peak (west mtn.) is at 10,679' above sea level. The South Mt. (north) is a baby at 8,750'.

The view to the east stretches for 80 miles on a very clear day (the house sits up on a knoll). The one storm last night was due east of us.... talk about a lightning display. There were strikes about every 6-10 seconds for almost an hour. It was truly mesmerizing!

When you get that RV, you'll need to stop and say "hi". Don't forget... we have RV hook-ups already in place.....

Talk about Dr's with addiction..... we used to go to an ophthalmologist that literally ran around his office....
We had multiple pairs of glasses ordered and were just waiting to pick up the order. When we got the call to pick them up, only the tech was there and the office staff were going crazy.... the Dr. didn't show up that morning.....

We heard on the news the next day that he was arrested for "distributing meth and cocaine", the DEA had him under surveillance for quite some time. The feds found kilos of drugs, and hundreds of weapons (pistols, high powered rifles, and even full auto guns). It was reported there was tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition. He had a fairly large operation going.....

It was a real shame.... he was one of the best eye doctors we had ever been to.... He is serving something like 40 years in a federal prison. I guess we won't be getting any eye exams / glasses from him .....

My Dr is fatter than me. Would be shocked if he said anything

We just got a fresh CV19 report from the local hospital. They currently have:
56 CV19 patients, 48 are not vaccinated
6 patients in the ICU, 0 are vaccinated
3 on ventilators, 0 are vaccinated
A year ago, 18 was the average number of CV19 patients for the week

Draw your own conclusions, but this data represents a strong case for the efficacy of the vaccines.

A King Parrot arrived to tell me he was hungry so I gave him some kibble. Next thing 2 others arrived and started squabbling.

The only thing better than the vaccination to preventing Delta covid is previously being infected with covid.

"People given both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine were almost six-fold more likely to contract a delta infection and seven-fold more likely to have symptomatic disease than those who recovered."

Previous Covid Prevents Delta Infection Better Than Pfizer Shot

People who recovered from a bout of Covid-19 during one of the earlier waves of the pandemic appear to have a lower risk of contracting the delta variant than those who got two doses of the vaccine from Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE.

Never heard of Primeweld, but Miller's been in business forever. I bet you can still get parts for your DialArc, and you might even get parts for the Primeweld now. But what about in ten years, let alone 30 when your son needs 'em?

I couldn’t find anything negative of any substance in any reviews, here’s a typical one-

Bottom line is that I ordered one from Amazon.

Good morning and thanks for the anniversary wishes.

I have been keeping out of trouble this morning by applying a second light coat of oil stain to a couple of upstairs windows and the French doors on the snug. The oil finish may not be as long lasting as the stuff that was used before, but it should be a heck of a lot easier to prep next time. I find brushing quite therapeutic while listening to steamed podcasts through my hearing aids. The last one was about an Indian girl who was the saviour of an expedition into the American West in 1804. Some of you may have learned about the exploits of 16 year old "Sacagawea" when you were at school, her story was all new to me.

The book I read was Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose. He went into detail about the planning of the expedition. They had a really rough time, many times.

Happy belated anniversary to Mr and Mrs Eric

fiddlearound that’s impressive my dad died right before 60 years

Took day off I’m tired dehydrated again yesterday somebody is trying to tell me something. 68 is trying to do me in

Once you get heat stroke symptoms, you can more easily get it again.

Sorry to hear that Bup ... sincerely hope you have a good resolution and a quick recovery.

79F and fair @ 22:15, DP 77, heading down to a low of 71F for the overnight.

Refilled hopper feeder during break from mowing.

Got the grass down here around the house all cut, also about 60% of compost/wood lot.

Did some pruning on the evergreens around the gas meter, one cart of debris hauled over to the burn pile.

At one point this afternoon WU said the HI was 113F here ...

And it's supposed to be 2 degrees warmer tomorrow (89F, actual temperature)
